Don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but the Maya had a base 20 mathematics not base 10 as we see in this video. I don't know where you got the idea that the Maya used lines to figure out this types of algorithm but it's wrong. You all must realize that the Maya were very adept mathematicians making a very precise calculation of the universe in the science of astronomy and calendrics.

well, i like what you doing, it realy helps, but what if you need to multiply 2 digits by 5 digits, or any multiplication of 2 unequal number of digits, e.g. 235*21,
I can't figure out the system when 0 is added to the middle of a number such as 1003x104. Methods seem inconsistent with the answer. 0 has strange properties. I guess that's why no one has a video with 0's in it.
@iSoulja22 I figured out the zero problem. You don't have to break down the grid into quadrants. you could take a number like 100x100 and just make 100 lines on x axis and 100 lines on y axis. Count up the points to get 10000. Similarly if you take 1003x104 then you get two numbers for 1003. 100 and 3. For 104 you get 10 and 4. So when adding even though there may only be one line showing it is really representing 100 lines. no space left. After just take 1# and leave behind. Carry on the rest.
@iSoulja22@wind152 It's the same principle. For the example, 1003 × 104, draw a "dummy line" for the zeros and when counting the intersections, count them as nil.
Also, the example is a 4-digit number times a 3-digit number. To make the Mayan multiplication a "square", put a zero in front of the "104", then it should work out fine. So the question would become 1003 × 0104.

that's easy!! draw line like for number 1 but mark it as 0. then you just multiply it by 0 and it works!!! first try 10 x 10. you will have 1, 0+0, 0 which will give you 100, try 103x30- you'll have 3, 0, 9, 0. try 132x20 and you will have 2, 6+0, 4+0, 0+0 which is 2640.
2+2=5 is also from George Orwells 1984^^ that is such a wonderful book:)
on a side note could you tell me how you learned about/how to do Mayan math? I have been trying to find more stuff about the math and the language of that culture, but finding anything on classic mayan is so hard(-_-)

I think the Mayan used base 20 numbering system
24 X 15 (bases 10) = (01x20^1 + 4x20^0) x (15 x20^0) base 20
= 15 x20^1 + 4x15 x20^0
= 300 + 60 (base 10)=360 base 10
-->
18 X 23 = 18 x (01 03) base 20 = 18 x20 + 18 x3 base 10
= 360 + 54 = 414 base 10
* it take only 5 bits of a byte to represent a base 20 value.
